Psgp-2026 - psgp prevention services grant program

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services $10.212 million on October 1, 2025, under the Title IV-E Prevention Program (CFDA 93.472).

The award funds time-limited prevention services, including mental health, substance abuse, and in-home parent skill-based programs for children and youth who are candidates for foster care, as well as pregnant and parenting foster youth and their parent or kinship caregivers. Services are provided without regard to children's eligibility for Title IV-E foster care maintenance payments.

The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. All work is performed in North Carolina. This is a formula award to an eligible agency with an approved Title IV-E prevention plan. North Carolina DHHS draws down funds through quarterly estimates and claims submitted on federal financial reports; the Division of Payment Management established an account from which the recipient may draw award funds post-award. The recipient must maintain all financial and programmatic records necessary for proper operation, including eligibility determinations and allocation of indirect and direct administrative and training costs, in accordance with 45 CFR Part 75 and HHS guidance.
